parm |
parameters of |
reparm |
optional matrix of contrasts for reparameterisation of the scores.

intercept |
add optional intercept parameters (constraint to zero) to
the model. It may make sense to restrict attention to
scores corresponding to those intercept parameters, the additional argument

min_update |
number of observations necessary to refit the model in a node. If less observations are available, the parameters from the parent node will be reused. |

an optional data frame of observations. |

number of grid points to generate (in the absence of |

type |
type of prediction or plot to generate. |

an optional vector of weights. |

Conditional inference trees are used for partitioning likelihood-based transformation
models as described in Hothorn and Zeileis (2017). The method can be seen
in action in Hothorn (2018) and the corresponding code is available as
demo("BMI")
. demo("applications")
performs transformation
tree analyses for some standard benchmarking problems.
